How to Cook Medium Rare Steak

I was given delicious looking beef steak as an end of the year gift, I attempted to pan-fry it medium rare. If you use this method to cook it, you can enjoy a tender and juicy steak even at home. If you ever get a hold of delicious meat, give it a try.

If you are making Western-style steak sauce, use red wine. If you are making Japanese-style steak sauce, use sake to flambé.

Letting the steak sit for 3 minutes and then cutting prevents the juices from escaping. Recipe by Pagurabu

2 servings
  1. 2Beef steak meat
  2. 1 tspSalt (or Krazy Salt)

  8. 2 tbspWater
  9. 1 tspSoy sauce, mirin

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Remove the meat from the refrigerator and let sit 20 minutes to bring it to room temperature.

  2. 2

    Cut off the fat from both sides of the meat. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Put the beef tallow into the frying pan, turn the heat to high to melt it and cook it until it smokes.

    Put in the meat and pan-fry for 1.5 - 2 minutes. When the juices begin to seep out around the edges, flip it over.

  5. 5

    Pour in the red wine (or sake) right away to flambé. Once the flames from the frying pan have died off, quickly place the meat on a cutting board.

  6. 6

    After leaving it alone for 3 minutes, cut it into bite-sized pieces. Arrange it on a plate and it's done.

  7. 7

    Make the red wine sauce. Add water and mirin to the red wine remaining in the frying pan. Let it boil for about 30 seconds.

  8. 8

    Turn off the heat and add soy sauce and butter. Stir until the butter melts. Pour it over the steak and enjoy.
